Barrow

In pasture, sited on an elevation with excellent views over rolling grassland and to SE over an expanse of rough wet ground. This monument is not on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is depicted as a small hachured circle on the 1917 edition. Circular area (diam. 7m -mid bank) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.4m). The inner face of the bank has a shallow, gradual slope which is not clearly defined. The fosse is evident as a shallow depression with a deeper section at E which may be the result of relatively recent disturbance. There are several animal burrows in the bank, and gorse and brambles cover much of the barrow. An embanked barrow (MA092-063001-) is located 15m to NW.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age; its location suggests a ceremonial or funerary function within a landscape of broader prehistoric significance.
